Public housing works and we need more of it. But right now we're at risk of losing the biggest collection of publicly owned homes in America. @PeteHarrisonNYC reports on the first NYCHA federal monitor report. dataforprogress.org/blog/201…

Trump insults Baltimore + its people while his son-in-law runs apts IN #Baltimore—in 2017, +200 code violations!
"Tenants of Kushner properties reported mouse infestations, mold problems and maggots."

$7.3 billion in profits in just the past three months!? Investing in luxury condos, fossil fuels and weapons is part of how Bank of America does it. Let’s create a #PublicBank for NYC and invest in our communities instead of doing business with #WallSt. tinyurl.com/y825nl7v

This is what we need! #HousingISaHumanRight and we need laws that treat it that way.
Housing "is a genuine crisis; there is an enormous strain on middle-class people—not just the poor—and there is a weight on young people."

The racism ingrained in HUD's mixed-status proposal is spreading to USDA. More families could be separated and without homes in rural areas.
Stay informed and be ready to submit a public comment to stand up against injustice. #KeepFamiliesTogether

The Tenants Association did the best it could wo much help from electeds, but this was never a “good deal” regardless.
Blackstone is the biggest landlord in the world. They were gifted millions of dollars in tax breaks and even more in air rights. Why?

This plan could hurt families by removing rules that protect fair housing. "it’s an attempt to achieve large-scale deregulation..."

We need to fight the blatant racism of the Trump administration on every front.
Families should be kept together at home. 55,000 children could be evicted and 100,000 people.

NY's real estate industry says that it opposes rent regulations because they target "mom and pop" landlords. But the numbers tell a different story 1/ psmag.com/social-justice/big…
